When we discovered Marataba Lodge, we instantly knew we had found something very special. A 23 000ha piece of unspoilt Africa within Marakele National Park (Setswana for ‘place of sanctuary’), it is unlike anything we have ever seen. With spectacular landscapes and iconic wildlife, this place holds its own among South Africa’s greatest reserves.
Within this vast wilderness, Marataba Safari Lodge is one of just two Marakele National Park lodges offering small group, exclusive safaris. For a one-on-one, private African safari, you truly don’t get better than this.
Guests, for who luxury is being in the tranquillity of the bush, will appreciate glamping in one of Marataba Safari Lodge’s 15 Tented Suites that bring them closer to nature – without trading comfort for the experience. Lucky guests may spot the wildlife right from their decks.
These stone and canvas accommodation may look down to earth though are anything but basic, with all the modern amenities. Of them, four Family Suites give children their own en-suite bedrooms (and parents their own space) kitted out just for them, while the lodge ensures they have the best time on safari with the Mack & Madi Kids’ Adventure Safari Club experience.
